    E30 Ca-ruck

    My E30 got smashed by a tree so I got bored and turned into a Ca-ruck or a Tru-ar. Before I put the window bars in it was a bit scary, the alignment kept changing after each corner. It doesn't do it now, but I'm still too scared to get on the highway for fear the car is going to snap in two pieces.
    Sense it has no weight in the back it rose 1/2 inch. I sold my 17's and put these really shitty tires on it for now so It does very good burnouts.

    That's Awsome, his is most certainly more proper. I just bought an e46 m3 and I was in the mist of selling my e30 before that bitch mother nature killed it.
    Im parting it out now but I wanted to have a little bit more fun with it before I put it down.

    I remember when I wasn't too fond of the movement, but this is beautiful.

    They're growing on me the more and more clean examples (and rough) I see. Props to you guys

    Cool concept if the car is wrecked anyways. Maybe a convertible would be a better starting point for anyone trying this in the future...

    Then it wouldn't have a roof or be waterproof, this is more useful. Would make a great part truck for a shop.

    E39 and others.
    The chassis would be strengthened in key points in vert form, though...

    I cant wait to see where this goes. Shoot me a text when you start on it.

    BTW, got my car on the ground tonight. Adjusting the e-brake wasnt too bad.

    I am also in Springfield and have seen this car in the background in a FS add for the jz swapped e36.

    I would like it see a build thread as I am thinking about doing this to my clunker soon. It wont be on the same page as this build though as I don't have the resources....
